FIRE crews are still at the scene of a blaze at an industrial estate in Paisley which started on Sunday night.
However, residents have now been told they can open windows and doors after earlier being told to stay inside.
Crews were mobilised shortly after 9pm on Sunday as people took to social media to share videos of smoke filling the sky.

There have been no reported casualties although residents should be mindful of smoke.
Recycling firm Enva confirmed the fire took place at its WEEE Solutions e-waste facility and said emergency services are still on site.
The latest update from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters remain at the scene of an ongoing fire in Paisley.
“Residents are asked where possible to avoid the vicinity, but no longer need to keep windows and doors closed and can now go outdoors.”
The First Minister also took to social media to urge people to follow any guidance given by emergency services.
He described the incident as “very concerning” and thanked the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for its efforts.
